Gates 24273 Radiator Coolant Hose - Reservoir To Heater

Overview

Gates 24273 is a molded radiator coolant hose built for a specific modular cooling application. It uses EPDM, plastic, and steel construction and includes integrated quick-connect fittings to match the original hose layout.

Fits 2004-2006 BMW X3, reservoir to heater. This Gates Molded Coolant Hose is part of the brand’s modular coolant hose line, which is engineered around application-specific routing and OE-style integrated components.

Key Features

• Molded hose design follows the original routing for a precise replacement.
• EPDM, plastic, and steel construction supports coolant system durability.
• Two female quick connectors are built into the hose assembly.
• Modular hose design matches the integrated component style used in OE applications.
• Part number 24273 for easy identification when ordering or cross-checking.

Detailed Description

Gates 24273 is a radiator coolant hose for the reservoir-to-heater circuit on the 2004-2006 BMW X3. The molded shape, 22.25-inch centerline length, and dual 15 mm end inside diameters help it follow the intended coolant path without improvised routing. The hose assembly is built with two female quick connectors and is designed as a modular hose rather than a basic cut-to-fit hose.

Gates is known for modular coolant hose assemblies that mirror OE-style layouts and incorporate essential integrated components such as connectors and related fittings. If you are replacing a worn or leaking hose on a BMW X3, part number 24273 provides a direct application-specific solution. The same part number 24273 can also help confirm the correct hose during catalog lookup or service verification.

What It Helps Fix

• Coolant leaks from a cracked or aged molded hose.
• Improper hose routing caused by a damaged original assembly.
• Loose or failing quick-connect interfaces.
• Restricted coolant flow from deterioration in the hose body.
• Service issues when the original modular hose assembly is no longer reliable.

Installation Notes

Verify the reservoir-to-heater routing, connector style, and hose length before installation. Confirm the vehicle application against the part number 24273 and inspect mating connections for wear, corrosion, or residue before fitting the new hose.

Quality Assurance

Gates manufactures modular coolant hose assemblies to application-specific specifications with OE-style integrated components. That engineering approach supports accurate fitment and consistent replacement quality for the cooling system.
